One of its first actions was to release the population from the laws of Wamba and recognise Erwig, anathematising all who opposed him.
It recognised the right of the metropolitan archbishop of Toledo to consecrate all bishops appointed by the king, even if they were outside his own province.
The canons were first read in the church of Santa María in Toledo on 27 January.
The council, at the request of Erwig, revised the Forum Iudicum of Reccesuinth to right perceived injustices and contradictions.
The church of Galicia was sanctioned in its treatment of slaves (see Tenth Council of Toledo) and the extant paganism of the province condemned.
